A YES vote means

A yes vote raises the mayor's yearly base pay to $120,000 starting with the next term. Yearly raises would still depend on city worker raises.

A NO vote means

A no vote rejects the higher base pay. The current pay rule, including yearly raises tied to city worker raises, would stay.
